I love how this date idea box turned out & I know it will help . To figure out the order, it was best to go by what day they were born in the month {Aulina: 1th will go week 1 / Taidan: 5th will go week 2 / Audra: 7th will go week 3 / Auri: 22nd will go week 4}. The dice is for them to roll and what ever number comes up, thats the section they will look in to find the idea (ideas came from -www.coolestdates.com) for their date. After they use that idea they should journal on the back and then put the card to the back of the pile of ideas.
1-I just got a file box, headband and flower(dollar store finds!).
2-After taking apart the flower, I took one of my larger scrapbooking brads and poked it thru the flower and headband.
3-Fold the top of the flower under the headband.
4-Using the blank side of the 3 x 5 cards I cut patterned paper to fit.
5-I used these tabs I found at the office store(they were .30 on clearance!) and labeled them with a permenant marker.
6-All 12 sections labeled. 1: indoor, 2: adventurous, 3: free, 4: outdoor, 5: educational, 6: theme, 7: games, 8: playful, 9: cheap, 10: daddy's choice, 11: sporty, 12: kids choice.
7-In each section I took the blank side and wrote the date idea (I like my handwriting and its a great keepsake) so it frees up the back side with lines. This is where each child can journal in (for their box) their thoughts and feelings from the date.
8-I made a label to attach to the top{ "Name" date night with Dad} to personalize it.
It is so important to have that 1 on 1 with each child so they feel LOVED & that they BELONG to your family.
